    Default contact lens hurt

    Every few weeks I'll wear my contacts to work and one eye will really hurt and my eye and nose would run from irriation. It would only hurt that night then be fine the next day. I'm not sure why it would hurt or what I should do. I've taken out the contact before but is there anything else I could do since my eyes look better with the colored contacts and I'd have to re-do my eye make-up for the other color eyes. Would taking out the contacts and putting in lubricating drops help? Anyone else have irriated eyes from contacts? Thanks!

    I do i wear contacts pretty much everyday for years. I've thought of a few possibilities

    1. I need new contacts
    2. I didn't clean them right
    3. My eyes are just tired and contacts make them worst
    4. I have them on backwards

    usually for me its that i need new ones since i buy the disposable ones.

    Same here ^^^.

    I wear disposables too, and when they start to itch or make me tear up, I know it's time to change them. I wear the 2 week Accvue 2. But I usually get 24/7 wear outta them for a month or more.

    Try a new pair, or it might just be the smoke in the club that's bothering you.

    For some reason, when I wear contacts, there is always an irritation on one of my eyes, like it feels like I have something on the contact, only theres nothing there. So I take it out, rinse it off, put it back in. I can do this constantly, and its still irriated. But my eyes are just fine, so I donno what thats about.

    I wear the 2 week Acuvue 2 also. They are great. I have worn contacts for about 15 years now. I have never really had any problems. They do get pretty dry at the club with all the smoke but so far nothing major. Try the drops through the day and see if that helps. They help me when they are feeling dry. Good-luck.

    Me too!! I'm so bad about switching mine out on time.

    Make sure you carry eye drops with you all the time. Sometimes you just need to keep your eyes moist to avoid irritation.

    My eyes get irritated really easy so I went to my eye doctor and he gave a different solution to soak my contacts in Hydrogen Peroxide and it works well for me. It seems like everytime I don't use that solution my eyes get irritated again Good luck.

    Is it the same contact in the same eye that is bothering you? I've had that happen and had to just replace it with a new one becuase sometimes they must have a little flaw or tear that you can't even see but they'll irritate your eye just the same. I used to order my contacts onine and then the place I ordered them from bugged the hell out of my be refusing to refill my prescription and I had to go find a new eye doctor and then he charged me a $50 fitting fee for NOTHING! Why can I order meds online with no prescription but I can't order a box of freakin' contacts? I've been wearing my two week disposable ones for months because I don't feel like having to get an eye exam to buy more because I know I can see fine but I think it's been over a year.

    Its the same eye, and its every single time I put a contact in, whether it is new or has been worn. I really would like to try the acuvue hydraclear. Anyone tried these yet?

    Could be an allergy to the contact, or an infection.

    try using daily lenses...i do, and they are great for me cos i am too lazy to clean my two week ones, the one dayers are perfect.

    my coloured ones iritate my eyes no matter if they are new and fresh or old. dunno why that is...welll i know i have slight protein build up and this causes them to move around under the eyelid etc.

    I can't wear contacts... I tried and after a few hours, my eyes would get so dry, they would fall right out of my eyes. I would put drops and drops in, but the drops couldn't get under the contact. It always felt as if there was something in my eye and I had to stop myself from rubbing my eyes. And when I did take them out, my eyes would be very sore. I finally gave up and now I just don't usually wear glasses or contacts... I am used to semi-blurred vision.

    I go to the eye dr every year, and Im always checking out good, but I just cant wear contacts because of the irritation of the one eye. Oh well though.

    Maybe you ladies are right about the disposable thing. My contacts are non-disposable. I've had them 2 years but only wore them more than a few times in the last 3 months wearing them 3 times a week. I'm not ready to throw them out since they were sort of expensive and they're colored and look nice. But I'm considering buying a new disposable set.
    I usually put my contacts in the right way out but that could explain why they only hurt once every couple weeks. It could be the contact solution sinc that normally does irritate my eyes so I rinse my contacts with water before putting them in.
    I'll probably buy some lubricating drops- hopefully that would help. My club doesn't have any smoke though (a state rule.) Can you put the drops in when the contacts are in or do you have to take out the contacts first?
    Thanks you ladies for the contacts advice and I hope everyone's contacts stop irritating their eyes.

    Well i know you can put the drops when your contacts are in but you might ruin your makeup. Also another thing i forgot to mention i don't know why sometimes make-up or eyeliner and that kind of stuff gets on your contact maybe that might be another reason of irriation.

    I think its my eyeliner that i have it weird it gets in my contact when i have it in, and then when i take it out and m cleaning it i really have to rub cause it dose'nt want to come off the contact. Also when contacts are old they get dry super easy maybe its that too, or have you looked at them extra careful maybe they are torn. I just had a torn contact on this morning.

    My mom had that problem a long time ago.Her optometrist said the reason her contacts started hurting her,was because they no longer fit correctly.After he prescribed some better fitting ones,the pain went away.

    If you think it might be your makeup, there are several different brands that advertise "safe for contact lens wearers."

    Make sure you clean them every time you wear them, and if you wear them every day you will get used to them far better. Only wearing them once in a while is hard for your eyes to adjust to. Also dont leave them in for more than 6 hours at a time when you first start wearing them every day.
